Long ago, there was a being who had created a world. Known as the Great Evil God of Despair, she was born into a profound sense of isolation. Desperate for a connection with another, she sacrificed nearly all her power to bring a single world into existence—only to be rejected by everything within it. She was a tragic deity.
Years later, there was a lonely girl, born from a confluence of the magic power of the dead. Though she possessed a heart gentler than any other, she carried a cursed power that scattered death to everyone she encountered. Trembling in her solitude, the girl wept.
Eventually, the strongest and primordial demon took her in. Though her power no longer spread death unchecked, true warmth still eluded her. As the years piled on, her heart only grew more frozen.
In time, she was labeled the symbol of death, the world’s most terrifying existence. Fearing and rejecting her, most of the world treated her as a pariah, as if she were bound by a fate she could never escape—not even through reincarnation.
Yet, at the end of that long, lonely road, she found her sun. A beloved sun who melted the ice around her heart and gently reached for her hand. The presence of Kaito Miyama completely transformed her world. Before she knew it, the loneliness had faded, replaced by days that she naturally, effortlessly, found joy in.
Inside the dimly lit room, Isis quietly opened her eyes. Even in the darkness, she could see as clearly as if it were midday. Her gaze fell upon Kaito, who slept while holding her tight, and a peaceful smile crossed her lips.
The moment Kaito had taken her hand, Isis had been certain. She knew she had been born just to meet him—that he was the destined person she had spent an eternity waiting for.
That premonition wasn’t wrong, she thought. Kaito changed everything. If he hadn't come for me, I’d still be here, trembling all alone in this castle.
Since meeting Kaito, Isis’s outlook had become brighter. She remembered the sheer excitement of waiting to see him, and the simple joy of their time together. It felt as though her dark, cold world had finally been filled with color. Even the things she had seen every day for centuries began to look different.
It’s so mysterious, she mused. Even though I love him more than I ever thought possible, my feelings just keep growing. It makes me so happy. To be able to say I love Kaito with such confidence... that is the greatest happiness of all.
She reached out tentatively, brushing a stray lock of hair from his face before gently caressing his cheek. She cherished the touch of his skin and the warmth of his body with an almost desperate tenderness.
Kaito stirred under her touch, his eyes fluttering open. "Isis-san...?"
"Ah... I’m sorry. Did I wake you?"
"No, don't worry about it. Is something wrong?"
"No... nothing is wrong. I was just thinking about how happy I am to have you by my side... and how lucky I am to love you."
As Isis spoke with a slightly apologetic expression, Kaito smiled gently. He wrapped his arm around her back and pulled her closer. Isis didn't resist; instead, she snuggled into his embrace with a delighted, affectionate look, settling perfectly into his arms.
"I feel the same way," Kaito murmured. "Being able to love someone like this, and being able to tell them so... it really is a wonderful thing."
"Yes... because it means I’ve finally met the person who matters most to me. My heart... my soul is rejoicing."
Kaito placed his hand on her head, stroking her silky hair. Isis narrowed her eyes, soaking in the comfort of his touch as she continued.
"Kaito... thank you for finding me. For falling in love with me. It makes me so, so happy. I promise I won’t make you regret it. I’ll do my best to make you glad that you chose me."
"You achieved that long ago," he replied. "I feel that way every single day. If anything, I’m the one who should be thanking you for being in my life."
"Kaito... I love you. I love you so much. No matter how many times I say it, it isn't enough. I love you... more than anything."
"I love you too, Isis-san."
If words could no longer bridge the gap, they would show it through their actions. They held each other tight, sharing kiss after kiss. Though their castle stood in a realm of eternal frost, they felt a warmth so intense it was almost scalding.
That girl was lonely.
But that was in the past. As long as her beloved sun continued to shine, snow would never fall in her heart again. The wish of the tragic god who had trembled in the dark, reaching out for another, had finally come true.
Now, Isis would step forward into the continuation of her dream. Together with the one she loved most.
